I still carry my 940 on duty as a backup gun in a pocket sewn on the front of my body armor. But I don't carry it off duty. I recently bought a 340PD and the light weight allows all kinds of carry options not possible with the much heavier 940. But despite the hi tech scandium and titanium components of the 340PD, I feel that my 940 is still the better made revolver in the grand scheme of things.
The conversion cylinders are interesting but I don't want to give up the ability to fire 9x19 without moonclips. And I have not seen any actual chronograph data that shows that any .38 Super load will beat handloaded 9x19 out of a 2" barrel.
